Luis Montalbert-Smith is the lead singer and co-founder of the Costa Rican music group Gandhi. == Early life== Luis Montalbert-Smith was born on 22 May 1975 in Washington DC, to a Costa Rican surgeon and a physiologist who were studying at Georgetown University at the time. He lived his first years in Washington, D.C. and moved to his parents hometown in Costa Rica in 1979.〔Gandhi Webpage, Integrantes, Luis Montalbert-Smith http://www.grupogandhi.com/, June 2010〕 His first artistic expression, her mom remarks, was dancing at the young age of one while listening to Anita Wards’ hit ''Ring my Bell.'' During a visit to his grandmother’s for tea at the age of 5''(his grandparents were of English descent)'', she played the piano. The moment was so shocking to him that he instantly told his mother ''“I want to do what Grandma Molly is doing〔Gandhi Webpage, Integrantes, Luis Montalbert-Smith http://www.grupogandhi.com/, June 2010〕”.'' His parents right away put him in piano lessons with a local neighborhood teacher, which prepared Luis to audition for the Children’s Program at the University of Costa Rica’s School for Musical Arts. In order to support him, his Grandma Molly gave Luis an old Köhl piano she had, as a motivating factor for his studies. In 1981 he presented the audition and was admitted to the Basic Stage Program and assigned to Professor ''Sara Mintz''. When he was 8 years old, he watched a Michael Jackson concert on the TV and decided he wanted also to sing. His mom put him in the Children Chorus at the University of Costa Rica, where he was already studying piano.〔Luis Montalbert, special on vocalists, La506.com http://www.la506.com/tendencias/articulo.php?id=297〕 He studied until 1990, when he was forced to quit the musical program in order to improve his high school studies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luis Montalbert-Smith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
